Description:
Meet Elvis!
He loves to go on walks, and follows along without getting distracted
much. Easily redirected with a gentle tug on the leash. When he is
allowed off the leash, he sprints to an area of interest, but doesn't go
to far before he turns and sprints back to his walker. He just loves to
sprint! He is still learning what it means to "come here," and won't
respond right away if he's too distracted or excited.

He has been doing impressively well with sitting a distance from his
"people's" dinner table at supper time, but still is learning how to
"stay," in a different situation. He also knows how to "drop it," "sit,"
"lay down," and sometimes "shake a paw."

He tolerates being combed and bathed, and had even fallen asleep on the
table at the groomers!

He does fantastic with our 4 year old daughter, but would not do well in a
busy home environment with many small children. He is still working on
housetraining. He definitely knows to go when he gets outside, and only
has accidents when he's been allowed free reign in a carpeted area and not
monitored.

He does not like to be in his kennel for long periods of time, but does ok
if he needs to be gated in a room while his people are away.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
